Josh Downs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week. QB Joe Flacco was reportedly taking the first-team reps in the portion of Friday’s practice open to the media. We’ll look for further updates on Richardson’s status and get the Colts’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs will get significant boosts up our rankings if Flacco ends up starting.

Colts WR Josh Downs tallied a team-high 8 receptions for 82 yards and a TD on 9 targets in Sunday's win over the Steelers. Downs caught an 11-yard pass from Anthony Richardson before the QB left with a first-quarter hip injury. But then he caught a 4-yard TD on Joe Flacco's first pass attempt and drew a target on four of the QB's first seven attempts. Downs' 9 targets tied Pittman for the team lead in that category.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been diagnosed with a hip pointer, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports. The "hope" is that Richardson "misses very little or no game action," Wolfe adds. It's relatively good news, although it sounds like Richardson isn't a lock to be ready for Week 5. We'll keep you updated on his progress this coming week.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll make his 2024 debut on Sunday against the Bears. Downs could quickly emerge as Indianapolis’ No. 2 WR, but he’s not a recommended fantasy starter in his first game back from a significant ankle injury.

Colts WR Josh Downs expects to make his 2024 debut vs. the Bears this weekend, he said on Wednesday. Downs suffered his high-ankle sprain exactly six weeks ago, so he should be getting close to 100%. He practiced all last week, including a full workout on Friday.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. The team is wisely playing it safe with his return from a high-ankle sprain. Downs should be back for Week 3, but we’ll track his progress this coming week. His absence keeps Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, and Adonai Mitchell locked in as Indianapolis’ clear top three WRs.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is "50/50" for today's game vs. the Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "High-ankle sprains can linger and the team wants to make sure he has zero issues before he plays," Rapoport adds. We'll get Indianapolis' inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Downs should not be in your Week 2 fantasy plans.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. But HC Shane Steichen has labeled him a game-time decision. Downs shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups in his first game off a high-ankle sprain. But his return would threaten the playing time of WR Alec Pierce and, especially, WR Adonai Mitchell.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It was his first official practice of the season after missing all three last week. Downs told the media afterward that he's about "80-90%" recovered from his high-ankle sprain. We'll keep an eye on his progress over the next few days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Packers. But Downs shouldn't be in your Week 2 fantasy plans.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He officially didn’t practice all week but was seen sprinting on Friday. We’ll see if Downs can make it back from his high-ankle sprain for Week 2. Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce will operate as Indianapolis’ clear top three WRs this weekend.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He's four weeks removed from suffering a high-ankle sprain and seems unlikely to be ready for Sunday's opener vs. the Texans. We'll continue to track Downs' status and see if he can make it back for Week 2.

Colts WR Josh Downs suffered a high-ankle sprain in Wednesday's practice, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "The outlook right now is that Downs could miss about a month, but the Colts are sorting that out," Fowler adds.
